' W THE VOYAGE UR GUING HDLMES WHEN THE News of jack Holmes' departure from us on leave of absence for at least two years, reached one of our students, he wrote home that nothing short of a catastrophe had happened , that, in addition to testifying to jack as a teacher of descriptive English, just about expresses our feelings. Punning5' has been accused of being the lowest form of humour, but in Jack's case it was the foundaf tion stone of a sense of humour which has been the delight of staff and students for five years. Now, armed with a BA. fWester1i '329 and an M.A. QU. of T. l ,331 he is attacking the fortress of postfgradu- Iojm W. Holmes ate studies at the Uni' versity of London fEnglandJ.

And to all these worthy enterprises we say good luck, but come backfi

24 THE VOTAGEUR s A RTICLE 0 ff to the West Indies by EINYAIIID G. MA1'K UXVN THROUGH the hills of Pennsylvania and into the great metropolis of New York journeyed a small group of students and staff from Pick' ering. Some of them were hound for the West Indies, others were on their way to Baltimore and Vsfashington. In New York the time passed quicklyg a morning and an afternoon of sight-seeing mingled with tall huildings, dirty suhways, strikers, taxifeabs rushing madly in every direction, and the teeming crowds of Times Square could scarcely he termed dull. The SS. Berlin was docked at pier 86, not far from the Hotel Lincoln, neverfthefless there was the customary mad scramhle to get on hoard before the last wellfwisher had disemharked and the gangfplank was drawn up. Then the hoat slowly pulled away from its dock in full Harhour dress, crowds and Roger Strouse cheering, and the hand playing. New York slowly faded into the distance to he temporarily forgotten as the Berlin made her way through the slow river trafhc ani out past Amhrose lightfship, into a world of gaiety and excitement. Life on the hoat was uw to all due ex wectations, with 'ust one meal l l J fCU'llI1'lllLCd on Page SU Mita. V as Photo by E. Gi Mark l.U1'L'lf' Ptmidise Bcizclz, Ntisstizt
